Pacman won't use community repository [solved, my bad]

I enabled the community section in /etc/pacman.conf, but when I so a pacman -Sy, it doesn't download from the community repo, and pacman -S commands to community packages fail.

Here's my /etc/pacman.conf file:

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman manpage for option directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#
#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/testing

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/core

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra

#[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

#[unstable]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/unstable

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

And what I get when I do a pacman -Sy with this config:

[root@pwn etc]# pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 local database is up to date

What should I do?

Try uncommenting the following line

#[community]

---

"Oh, they have the internet on computers now."
